Crocidura malayana Robinson and Kloss 1911 , J. Fed. Malay St. Mus., 4: 241-247.

Type Locality: Malaysia, Perak, Maxwell's Hill.

Vernacular Names: Malayan Shrew.

Synonyms: Crocidura aagaardi Kloss 1917 ; Crocidura aoris Robinson 1912 ; Crocidura gravida Kloss 1917 ; Crocidura klossi Robinson 1912 ; Crocidura major Kloss 1911 .

Distribution: Malay Peninsula and offshore islands south of the Isthmus of Kra (Pulau Aor and Pulau Redang).

Conservation: IUCN – Endangered.

Discussion: This species was included in fuliginosa by Jenkins (1976, 1982), but Ruedi et al. (1990) reported two different karyotypes from sympatric populations in Peninsular Malaysia. They provisionally used malayana for the sibling species with 2n = 38-40, and FN = 62-68. The listing of synonms follows Ruedi (1995) who subsequently reviewed the species.
